Global burden of disease for musculoskeletal disorders in all age groups, from 2024 to 2050, and a bibliometric-based survey of the status of research in geriatrics, geriatric orthopedics, and geriatric orthopedic diseases.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic surgery and research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundOrthopaedic diseases in the elderly pose a significant disease burden, and the number of research papers on the subject is increasing every year.
methodsThe GBD database was used to analyze the global disease burden of musculoskeletal disorders in all age groups from 2024 to 2050. The source for bibliometrics was the WoSCC SCI-E database.
resultsGlobal disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for musculoskeletal disorders by age were dominated by those aged 70 years and older, but the rate of change in DALYs between 2024 and 2050 was approximately ± 1%. We performed a descriptive analysis of 164,521 geriatrics articles, and 7155 geriatric orthopedics and geriatric orthopedic articles, and performed clustering, co-citation, collaborative network, and burst citation analyses based on Citespace and VOSviewer. Seven clustering tags containing hot content and 26 burst citation keywords containing hot content were finally targeted.
conclusionDALY in older adults over 70 years of age accounts for a significant portion of the disease burden of musculoskeletal disorders. Possible future research hotspots in geriatric orthopedics and geriatric bone diseases include three directions: (1) novel clinical procedures and postoperative management (2) various comorbidities caused by SARS-CoV-2 infections and other pathogens; and (3) effectiveness of Stem Cell Therapy in Clinical Applications and Biological Mechanisms of Stem Cell Therapy.
